Ever dealt with a terminally ill relative, while PP?

Question

I’m dealing with a contrast, biggest joy and biggest sadness.
We must join the grandpa of my baby as he deals with his cancer and I’m 2 weeks PP. 
I’m scared of depression, but also I’m very needed, and my baby also needs me. 
I had a difficult delivery, and sometimes I feel like I haven’t recovered mentally from it.
If you have some advice, I’d be super happy to read.
❤️

Answer

In the same situation. My grandpa was diagnosed with cancer when I was in my first trimester. I cried and cried thinking he wouldn’t see her born or to my wedding in June 2019. He was supposed to have 3-6months if lucky. Now its been almost 9months since his diagnoses and we are just trying to make it the best. I am 1month PP

Answer

My son was 7 weeks old when we found out my mom only had a few days left. She had fought cancer for 14 years. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do trying to do everything for my mom while looking after 2 kids plus I was breastfeeding. I wanted to get as much time with my mom as possible and it was so hard but my fiance took some days off work to deal with the kids while I spent time with my mom. Afterwards was so hard I struggled to get out of bed and even take care of myself but I pushed through because my kids needed me and it did help tbh kept my mind busy I do my crying in private when I have a little time to myself sorry you're going through this xx
